The report found that conversations on SAP vulnerabilities and exploits have increased 490% across Open Deep and Dark Web from 2021 to 2023, including:

According to the report, active discussions in cybercriminal forums about SAP-specific Cloud and Web services have increased 220% from 2021 to 2023
The SAP threat landscape is seeing well-established, highly sophisticated threat actors and state-sponsored groups that are more aggressively targeting SAP applications for financial gain, espionage and sabotage, the report finds. Unpatched SAP vulnerabilities are being exploited and used in ransomware campaigns, according to the report.
Recent evolution of ransomware and malware capabilities has occurred to enhance awareness of SAP processes and services, which demonstrates a renewed focus on successful ransomware execution and data extraction across SAP technology.
